The front and back where hand cut, so they may have made them from what they had laying around. Like I mentioned, the one I had was a very early unit that required firmware upgrades to even work properly.

Could it have been a pre production prototype that looked different to the productions units?

This is my thinking, too. It was bought before they were being advertised, and I did receive a board that had some mods and patch wires on it.

I'm thinking it might have been a Prism front cut down and put into a slimmer case more like the Astracom.

It's no big deal - I will pass it on to a US Spectrum owner, or use it with my Omni.

Meanwhile, I'm working on some subtle changes to my WiFi32 firmware to make it a little more BBS friendly. I'll then get a color VT terminal web front end, so people can experience the BBS experience on a real BBS from a web browser.

This is not a Sony TV - it is a Sony Video Monitor PVM-1554QM .It has separate inputs for Red, Green, Blue and Sync with BNC connectors - so I use a QL RGB to SCART cable bought from RetroComputer Shack and a SCART to BNC adaptor.The image is rock steady ! Much better than any QL monitor.

As I am in the USA, Scart is not the norm here. I have a Scart to HDMI adapter but have not seen a Scart to bnc adapter before. Is that a box like my Scart to HDMI device I purchased from Amazon? TJ

I just bought a SCART female conector and 4 BNC connectors and I wired each BNC to the corresponding SCART pin (RGBS) and ground.
